Citizen Tayne posted:The big Newspaper Comment Meme here right now is "Abolish property taxes, you never actually own your home because you have to rent it from the government!" Boy do they get mad when you suggest that they have to have "skin in the game" in their community and they get even angrier if you suggest that if they can't afford the property taxes they can't afford the house and they should live within their means. the great thing about property tax is that no one is ever truly unable to pay them -- they just don't wanna. by definition if you are subject to property tax you have a big juicy capital asset you could sell to satisfy them

MORE CURLY FRIES posted:I went to a boat party indie game thing at canary wharf and it was fun but going back drunk was the worst because it's like being drunk at a business park there's tolerable places surrounding canary wharf but - not at all coincidentally - the whole place is designed as much as possible to make it non-obvious where they are and to make it pretty hard for undesirables from those areas to make it into canary wharf as someone who lives, and has grown up, on the isle of dogs i seriously want to go back in time and stab every single person who wittered on about how many new jobs and opportunities selling the heart of our community to shiny-suited cunts would bring of all the people i grew up with - hundreds - i only know two who have ever worked within canary wharf. one of them is a hairdresser and one works in a mail room. oh and in one of the poorest areas not just of london but of the entire country the average house price is 325,000 pounds
